   Last week, Margo P. in Cleveland, OH. was looking for a vintage cake recipe   
   with fruit cocktail.  We received quite a number of responses, most of which   
   nearly the same!  Thank you to Mary Ann L. (who says this is called a "dump"   
   cake), Kay E., and Susan M.  for their submissions.   
      
   This recipe is from Barbara E, who says "This is the recipe that I used to   
   make when we were first married in the 50's."   
      
   Thanks again to all who responded!   
      
   Fruit Cocktail Cake   
      
      1      cup           flour   
      1      cup           sugar   
      1                       egg   
      1      tsp           baking soda   
      1/2  tsp           salt   
      1      #303 can      fruit cocktail   
      
   TOPPING   
      1      cup           brown sugar, loosely packed   
      1/2  cup           pecans, chopped   
      
   1. Mix all dry ingredients.  Beat egg then add dry ingredients and drained   
   fruit cocktail.  When draining fruit cocktail, leave some juice to moisten the   
   batter.  Pour into greased and floured 9 x 13 inch pan or a cookie sheet,   
   which makes the cake about an inch high.   
      
   2. Mix topping ingredients together and  sprinkle over cake batter. Let set a   
   few minutes to get the brown sugar wet.  Bake at 325 degrees for about 45   
   minutes.  Cut into squares and serve with whipped cream on top.

   10. A vintage recipe request from a reader:   
      
   "Does anyone have a good (preferably vintage) recipe for sloppy joes?  I can't   
   seem to find one that tastes like what I ate as a kid in the 50s.  I seem to   
   remember it having a small amount of rice in it, but I can't believe my mom   
   would boil rice just to add to sloppy joes." Jennie from CA

   As with collectibles, people also have very strong feelings about foods from   
   their past.  Sometimes these special recipes get lost. This section is to help   
   people who are looking for lost recipes from their past.  If you submit a   
   request, please include the geographical region where you tasted the recipe.   
      
   If you have a vintage recipe request send it to recipes@tias.com and we might   
   just publish it here.
